Tony Romo was recently awarded the Nancy Lieberman Lifetime Achievement Award at the Dream Ball Gala at the Omni Hotel.

The Cowboys quarterback gave an engaging 10-minute acceptance speech about needing help from others so he could achieve his goals.

While giving examples of the people who helped him along the way, Romo described how he transformed from a player focused on individual goals to someone who now only cares about team accomplishments.

"In the last five years, it's become all the people that I'm with, the Jason Wittens, the Jason Garretts, the Joneses, these people I've been with for a long time," Romo said. "I want to win a championship so bad, but it's just not about me. I literally want to win it so bad for them. For the people around me who have helped me.

"They've allowed me to achieve my dreams and my goals. Without them, I'm not there, I promise you. I'm not where I'm at right now and I'm not going where I'm going."

Romo was very candid, demonstrating why many envision the 35-year-old as a coach when his playing days are over. As he was closing his speech, Romo made sure to deliver a prediction for the upcoming season before quickly flashing a smile.

"This award is very meaningful to me, mostly because I get to be associated with this and to be associated with Nancy," Romo said. "It's incredible and I really appreciate you, and we're going to win a Super Bowl next year. Thank you."
